The post tagged Swift directly and included the caption, "I'm sure @Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song!" Trump's team responds with a mocking postRather than avoiding Swift's music altogether following the removals, Trump's campaign team appeared to lean into the conflict. Swift's music is not the only artist catalog to appear in such videos, and the pattern has drawn criticism from a broader coalition of musicians. After her endorsement of Harris, Trump wrote on social media, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" He later wrote, "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'"
